You see, $ is a world-currency and all international-prices are calculated based on the value of dollar. But several emerging economies are trying to dump the dollar, because US is printing fiat-currency (without gold backing) in HUGE numbers. In short, a big war is raging, a messy currency-war.

The real value of $ in India (and many other emerging economies in east) is declining/vanishing, so it's really hard to calculate the price of a japan-made camera. Can this be the reason for undecided price on HJX100v? Maybe they have other reasons, but the currency-war is real anyways.
